    Didn't he still win and wasn't he still the Undisputed World Champion when he retired? Please refresh my memory? Also didn't he defeat everyone he faced? Man I must be getting the wrong dude.

      Joe C will be right up there if he beats Hopkins (should they ever make the fight.) And Hopkins would be as well if he were to get that big win over Joe.

        Yes I also agree, although Lewis was a world champion i still couldnt mention him in the same breath as Marciano. The PRIME Lewis was in an Era were the heavy weight divison was in decline.

              This has been the same issue when mentioning Marciano also.
